Huynh Phuc Khang is one of the many Ho Chi Minh City hot toc goi dau hair salons offering massages in private rooms. Since Huynh Phuc Khang is located away from places more well known to foreigners like Benny’s and Hoang Than the client base seems to be made up almost entirely of locals.
Still there are at least some people on staff inside who can speak a bit of English. This is somewhat surprising considering that other places with lots of foreign customers don’t seem to have people on hand with the same skills. It goes to show what a wide variety is available within a single city let alone the world.
Location and layout
Huynh Phuc Khang is located along the canal. There are other similar hot toc goi dau scattered around the area that offer various levels of service. I will report about some of those in the future.
Huynh Phuc Khang is clearly marked with some large professional signs. The front entrance is made up of glass doors though the place is still somehow discreet. It could be that traffic buzzes by outside and there are so many other things around that it is difficult for people to focus their eyes on any one thing.
Inside Huynh Phuc Khang is one of the cleanest places of its type to be found anywhere in the city. The front lobby is where most of the women on staff usually hang around. There are about a half dozen ladies working the shop at any given time. Most wear matching form fitting dresses cut short and low and coming in bright colors like red and blue.
The Staff
The women working at Huynh Phuc Khang range in age from the early twenties to perhaps the mid thirties though most are in their twenties. Some are quite attractive while others are more average. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but I doubt most guys would find more than perhaps one lady at the shop to be unattractive.
Looks of course have no bearing on service too which could explain why the oldest gal working at Huynh Phuc Khang is often mentioned as being one of the best at the place when it comes to actual appointments. Of course such mentions come in the Vietnamese language as the place has not been covered in English anywhere as far as I know.
When customers enter Huynh Phuc Khang they either take whoever is next in line or select one of the ladies in the shop and head upstairs. There they find another floor filled with four or five cubicles. The cubicles are large and clean. They’re much better looking than most found in similar places. They also have solid walls between them rather than the usual thin frosted glass.
Each room has a wall fan, a sink and a sturdy massage table. They also have wooden coat racks and plenty of space to actually move around. Any lack of privacy between the cubicles would be minimal and related to the walls not going all the way to the ceiling or the thick curtains used as doors. The entire place is kept comfortable by a strong air conditioning system.
The Service
At any shop with multiple women on staff service usually ranges in quality and style unless there is some kind of training set down by the management. The lovely lass at Huynh Phuc Khang doesn’t seem to have much to do with anything other than keeping the place running so the service providers basically do whatever they want to do in the time provided.
Of course they all want to please their clients since they work more or less for tips. And so the service is delivered at least at a level expected by most. In some cases and with certain providers the level of service can go far above and beyond the norm to the point that customers could be left thinking they were getting shorted at other places in the city.
Some of the gals are true masters of the craft of private massage. Even things like hot and cold can be integrated into the routines to create sessions that are as relieving for sore aching bodies as they are amazing.
None of the ladies at Huynh Phuc Khang seem to be clock watchers either. If there is a set time period for each session it isn’t made clear and more often than not it seems that the ladies aim more to please their customers than to reach a certain point in time.
Price and Payment
The house price for a private massage at Huynh Phuc Khang is 170,000 Dong ($7.50 USD). Customers are more or less expect to tip on top of that as a token of appreciation for the work the women on staff put in. By definition tips are variable and not set in stone but in general customers at Huynh Phuc Khang usually hand over an additional 200,000 VND ($9 USD).
All payment and tips are rendered after service concludes which is the norm for nearly all massage places in the city even if shops in tourist areas try to claim otherwise. There are basically no shops of this type in the city where customers normally pay up front rather than rending payment on the way out. Three-and-a-half stars. 
Hyunh Phuc Khang. 1096 Truong Sa Phuong, Phuong 12, Quan 3, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Open every day from 9:00 AM until 11:00 PM.
Hi Rocket,
Just curious, they do provide extra service and perhaps full service in there yes?
Thanks for the wonderful reports as usual.
Tmackly
No one offers full service at this place or most others like it that I know of. Cheers.
Do they provide oral service or just hand?
Bro this is so annoying. This dude isn’t here to hold your hand and explain nthe world to you. So don’t be a douche. You’re on a website with hundreds of articles, all kinds of content, and a dude answering all your questions. Have some self respect do a little reading. Learn to think! It’ll get you far.
Thanks for the comment. Cheers.
I don’t think there is any specific shop policy. It’s a massage parlor so customers are essentially paying the shop for a massage and use of the room. Of course women often do extras for tips with or without the knowledge of the shop. Women working in these kinds of places typically offer oral. Cheers.
so just to get clarification. I know it’s really for the bj, but can they cut hair good here because do you know how bomb that would be? Go in get a haircut and a bj? heart eyes
Most of these places do not have actual barbers on staff. Cheers.
Some salongs have sexy girls and they try to surf on the reputations of Hot tocs, but in the end they only do hair (very good) and maybe a plain half-sexy massage, these are frequent in District 1, but hey, a good experience anyway.
That is true. I have described the phenomenon in the past. The general rule was the more sexy the shop looks the less likely it is to offer any sexual services. Though as my newest review shows that is not always the case anymore. There has always been some variation though. In 2018 I reviewed Hoai 42 which staffs real barbers and beauticians along with less traditional “service” ladies. Cheers.
Had a decent experience a this place.
I walked in and the one English speaker quoted me 370k VND for a “baby massage.” Having read this page, I presumed that to be the full amount with tip.
The ground floor doesn’t look like any kind of business at all, but the massage cubicles upstairs are air conditioned, private, and comfortable enough.
There was no pretense of an actual massage; instead the girl got right to the fun, which I appreciated. She slid her dress halfway off and let me gently feel up her top half as she worked. She started by putting an ice cube in her mouth and running it all over my body. Before and after each pass she washed me with rags that (I hope) were soaked in sanitizing soap water. This got me quite worked up before she jacked me off to finish.
A fairly short and straightforward experience, but given all awful massages I’ve experienced up and down Vietnam, this was definitely satisfying and a good value for $16.
The only issue is that, as I was exiting, her resetting the table did NOT involve changing the linens. Yuck.
Thanks for the report. Your experience seems to be fairly standard. This place actually seems to have some of the best hygiene among local shops of its kind. Linens are rarely changed between customers in Southeast Asia even at mainstream massage places. Cheers.
